Having bright, sparkling teeth has become a part of today’s beauty standards and as a result, cosmetic dentistry has gained popularity. If you’ve just had a professional whitening treatment with your dentist, it’s natural to want to show off your pearly whites. If you’re a fan of lip color, or if you’d like to learn, you can use this to your advantage to help your teeth look even lighter than they already are. Keep reading to learn more about 4 shades that can enhance your smile!
Color #1: Blue-Based Red
Every makeup collection should include red lipstick because it comes in a variety of tonalities that can work on any skin tone. With so many choices available, it should be easy to find an option that makes your teeth stand out. That said, some red hues that have a warm undertone can highlight the yellow tone which isn’t as aesthetically pleasing. Choose a blue-based red, instead, to make them appear brighter.
Color #2: Nude
Because nude lipstick shades are intended to reflect more natural skin tones, they’re a versatile solution for almost any occasion. You can dress up a neutral shade with a smokey eye for date night or pair it with your day-to-day makeup for a more casual look. If you find the right one, it can also emphasize your teeth. Look for a mauve or cool-toned beige rather than a caramel or peachy neutral to draw attention to your recently enhanced grin.
Color #3: Berry
While berry-toned lipsticks are popular during the colder months, they can be a bold statement any time of year. Deeper hues with a purple-blue base are sure to draw attention to your bright pearly whites. Consider hues similar reminiscent of blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries to visually balance out any existing yellow that can be seen.
Color #4: Blue Violet
If you’re a fan of less traditional tones, then why not consider a blue or violet lip shade? It’s sure to have the cool undertones you need to contrast against your teeth. If you have the confidence to pull it off, it’s a great option to showcase your recent cosmetic work. For those who don’t usually jump on board atypical trends, this could be the perfect opportunity to try something new and exciting!
Now that you know what colors to wear to help your smile shine, you’re sure to turn heads with your dazzlingly white teeth!
